The most compelling anti-Romney piece of the election season

Watch in terror as our mighty press destroys the potential first lady's Welsh cakes!  Without even tasting them!

Though if its right that the welsh cakes were two to three inches thick and black on the outside, she should really resign at once.

Did a little search on Welsh food . . . did you know they have a dish called "faggots" which are meatballs made from lamb or pig's liver, onions and a cereal binder?

I guess a food critic based there has to look abroad for something to criticize, since the locals have clearly decided to ignore him.

(OK, I'll cut the Welsh some slack - since beer IS their national drink they can't be all bad. Although as far back as 852 the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle noted a difference between "fine ale" and Welsh ale.)

My ancestors came over from Wales in the 1730's, landing in Virginia.  I am quite familiar with welsh cakes and make them myself.  I cannot agree more with the statement above.  I have never made them that thick, and I cannot see how in the heck they would cook properly at that size.  I cook mine at about the same diameter and thickness as an English muffin or crumpet.

I swear that the Romeny could walk barefoot across water, solve the hunger issue on the entire African continent and the next day the press headlines would be:

"Romeny Ignores Starving in Asia, Pollutes Ocean".

More important - is Romney going to welsh on his promises

"British Food Critic" not used with irony?  How is that possible?

The taste of a properly constructed welsh cake would destroy all stereotypes about British cooking.  Now Saxon cooking, on the other hand....

That's a rare bit of information.

I know. I thought this was something along the lines of "Vogon Poetry".

I see what you did there ... and I approve.

Why is everybody always dis-ing on Vogon poetry?

[SADShooter]

That's a rare bit of information.

Another Tallpine pun, typically cheesy, and saucy to boot.

Geesh, I could be one of those.

"It's not terribly good stuff. But the beer is alright."

Copy and paste for any authentic Brit food. Probably be more accurate and well-written than any other British Food Critic.

Is that a toast or a roast ?   

[SADShooter]

Bit of both, probably. I'll let you simmer on the question.

I'll chill for a few minutes before serving more puns.

Please don't. Your punnery is often good for a badly needed chuckle. Just trying to stir the pot.

I think I care about her welsh cakes about as much as I did for Hillary Clinton's cookie recipe (which she trotted out after no one liked her feminist routine).
